Anyone recognise this loader??

[dschwandt]

Going to look at this tomorrow. Guy says it fits an older Cub and possibly newer ones. Looks to me like a lot of stuff is missing like under carriage, reservoir and front end mounting parts.
Hoping it will fit a NF. Looks like it would take a lot of work to make fit and complete.

What do you loader guys think?

I think you'll need to make your own brackets. This looks just like the Johnson Loader my dad bought a few years ago. If so the reservoir is inside the left column-post. Attached are a couple pics of my Dad's I'm 80% done mounting this onto a 149 - with some new mounting brackets.
Here's my sister

Here's the pic from when we bought it.

I believe it may be a Schwartz. The horizontal side braces are the giveaway, though the Johnson has them as well.

After looking closer at various loader photos, I starting to think that Schwartz may have bought out Johnson as there are too many similarities and Johnson seemed to have disappeared about the time Schwartz appeared.

Tat would date it much later than the NF era and into the 82 series era, huh?

 

[kmcconaughey]

David, the add I posted was 82 Series era but that does not mean that the loader in question is. I would say it's definitely worth checking out.

I've got a pretty decent subframe reference a few miles down the road if it comes to that.

Too late...the guy sold it out from under me this afternoon after UI told him I'd be there tomorrow afternoon.
That sucks, sure wish he would have at least call me 1st GRRRR

Bummer! I missed out on a Johnson narrow frame loader in a similar fashion about 20 years ago.

Probably my own fault. Note to self: next time , keep my mouth shut,the keyboard inactive and the photo copy/paste app inactive

Sometimes, I'm just too nice for my own good, lesson learned!

BUT the 100 w/creeper, deck and rear PTO is on the trailer, just ahead of the Case 130 (sweetheart) and were headed to the house in the morning with one more stop en route.
